I LIKE ALL MUTTS . . .
Pet care experience
NOW SERVING THE WEST SIDE I like ALL mutts . . . And I cannot lie! But I don't discriminate -- I love all animals! I grew up with cats, and now I am a late blooming dog lover, trying to make up for lost time. My first dog, Pearl, was a rescued Great Pyrenees who started out rather shy and afraid of people. We worked together to overcome her fears, eventually passing the AKC Canine Good Citizen test as well as Therapy Dog International's certification test. She and I spent many rewarding hours visiting nursing homes and college campuses. Dogs are a lot like people -- each one is unique and I will work to bring out the best in yours! I look forward to a long and enjoyable relationship with you and your dogs. Thank you for trusting me with your family members!
Reviews
Marianne was great! She did great with my little monster puppies and she was always creative in coming up with solutions to unexpected situations. 10 out of 5 stars! 100% recommend!
I rest easy on vacation knowing Marianne is there with our pups. She’s so conscientious and caring… such a positive experience… so grateful for all the small niceties too.
Awesome as always.
Marianne is great!

Safety, trust & environment
Since we have never had a physical or underground fence, ours has always been a "leash walk only" home. This has only reinforced my belief that regular walks are critical to your dog's physical AND mental well being.
Information Marianne G. would like to know about your pet
I'm a BIG believer in the power of WALKS. This is one of the most important ways your dog has to interact with his or her environment. And it's also a great opportunity to reinforce obedience skills and strengthen the bond between man (or woman!) and dog. If you've noticed any specific behaviors or fears your dog exhibits when walking, please let me know so I am aware of them, and can hopefully come up with some ideas to help alleviate them.
A typical day
Dogs are primarily creatures of habit, but that doesn't mean they don't like to 'get off the beaten path' occasionally. Whether it's tossing a frisbee or tennis ball, or just taking a new route on our daily walks, I try to find ways to provide some variety in their daily routines.

Availability
I am happily retired so I can be pretty flexible as far as working with your schedule and your pet's individual needs -- and wants!
